is as follows:

750 class
600 class
450 class

SECTION E, SCORING.
If during the course of the race, a rider stops for any reason, he must restart without outside assistance. A rider shall be
disqualified from the moto for receiving assistance other than for safety reasons or to clear the track as observed and reported
by track officials, stewards, and course workers. A rider must complete 50% of the laps of the Moto winner and cross the
finish line and take the checkered flag in order to be scored for that Moto. In order for a racer to be considered as starting a
moto he must cross the finish line at least once. In all classes with more than 1 heat the riders will have to qualify for the final
points moto. All riders not qualified for the final points moto will ride in the appropriate consolation moto. A riders final
placing will be determined by combining both moto finishes. The number of riders that qualify for the final points moto will
be determined by dividing the number of usable start gates by the number of qualifying heats rounding down. The number of
riders in each qualifying heat shall be as close to equal as possible. Consolation moto placement shall be determined by first
moto finish. Under circumstances that cause the cancellation of the second moto, first moto finishes become final and the top
20 riders in each heat will receive points for the meet.
Club/Promoters running D23 events must honor a rider’s number if it is a D23 number for that venue. If there happens to be
two D23 bike numbers that are the same in a class, then the club/promoter may choose one of the riders to put an X or / on
their number for scoring purposes.
